Saturday's High School swim invite will be streamed by Freeport. Once I have the streaming link I will share it. With current mitigations Freeport's pool area can not accommodate all the teams involved and fans. So spectator's will not be allowed into the swim invite this weekend.
Just a friendly reminder that there is no school today due to a teacher in service day.

On Oct 8th when the varsity football team travels to Orion they will be hosting their Tackle Cancer night. This has been a tradition for several years and a worthy fundraiser.
